There's so few actual flying hours and mostly just simulator which is a lot less expensive.
I think private school people will have more actual well-rounded overall flying experience from their ATPL if that makes sense. This programme will just give you loads of hours in a 737 and then what other airline are you going to go to after that? Norwegian? That's all I can think of. And Ryanair of course. Those are my concerns anyway 🤷
where does it say you pay the „remaining cost“ from salary sacrifice? The only thing I read in the FAQ section is that they deduct 8k€ during these 8 months. So it must be subsidised. And with the initial 55k it makes the total cost for you 63k. Including the TR. Which I still find reasonable.

You might be right with your other concerns, of course I don’t know better. I’ll try to find out as much about this as possible in the interview.
